The Catholic church is a lot older than another Christian sects and they incorporated a lot of pagan ritual, gods and goddess replaced with saints and holidays given Christian overtones. All in an effort to convert and be accepted by non Christian folk. Destroying idols and burning holy writing is one thing but you can't take beloved holidays from people, that's just crossing the line. 

For the record, I was raised Catholic, am now agnostic.

The Catholic Church being old as the Dinosaurs, even older than any other Christian sect doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
